SERIOUSLY SPEAKING"”4
Let’s be really serious for a moment. What makes
• a bank really sound? It is CONFIDENCE to be sure,
i but what establishes confidence?
We’ll tell you. It is the men who conduct the j
bank. Our officers are courteous and obliging, con
servative, friendly. Our Directors know what is go
ing on inside the bank. It is their business to know,
; and they DO know.
Our stockholders are among the solid citizens of
: this community. Our Patrons are people of influence 1
and worth. All these beget confidence, the one thing
j that builds up a strong bank.
